How we measure. Every zone NSW’s Land Zoning Map draws in Nambucca Valley Council — the council’s own plan, and the land State planning policies zone directly — as NSW publishes it. Areas are measured from NSW’s outlines; shares are of the land NSW’s map zones, waterways included. Zoned residential means zones R1 to R5, and the older residential zones a few State policies still use.
